Freelance Work: Editorial and Chairing Services

Freelance work: Editorial and Chairing Services

In addition to writing his own novels, Russel has provided editorial services - from development reports to full edits - for a number of clients, both small press publishers and independent or self published writers.

Please note that Russel is currently only doing editorial reports for The Writer's Workshop and other select clients to avoid any confusion or conflict. If you wish Russel to be your editor of choice through the workshop, please do let them know when you contact them.

Due to demand, he currently has limited space for developmental edits, and until this changes, preference is currently being given to repeat/referred clients and publishers.

Russel has also worked as an event host and chair since 2004. He has chaired authors large and small across a number of genres, including Martina Cole, John Connolly, Chris Brookmyre, William McIlvanney, Justina Robson, Louise Welsh, Stuart MacBride and many, many more. He has chaired at festivals including The Edinburgh Book Festival, The Dundee Book Festival, Aye Write, The Blairgowrie Book Festival and many others. Please get in touch to discuss fees and availability. Russel is able to travel freely across the UK.
